I was back to "normal" on Tuesday. In fact, I kept getting worse until Friday when I called in sick. I had forgotten I had a specialist appt until I checked my voice mail the night before so it worked out well. I told him I was this far from giving up. I also told him that when the pain is really bad, I take an extra vicodin. He was OK with that. Several years ago I fell on concrete and landed on my tailbone. I asked an ER doc if I needed to have it checked out. Whether the coccyx is broken or not, the Rx is the same. I had to sit on a donut hole pillow for about 2 months and I had no other problems. Well, guess what? The bad pain is back. He said he could inject the coccyx, but after he described the gruesome procedure to me, I decided to live with it as long as I can. I'm also going to try physical therapy. It's very close to a Max stop so it will work for me. I'll either have to get up early or take time off work in the evening. We'll see......
I can't knit tonight. I think it's because I can't concentrate because of the pain. I knit 2 rows and rip out 3. So I'm not getting very far.
Susan, Hennessy and I are having a girl's day out tomorrow. We haven't done anything together for way too long. We will have lunch and go to a movie and then maybe some shopping. I just hope I feel better....so I'd better get to bed earlier tonight.
